QUOTE(greg775 @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 05:03 PM) I just think he's a great fielder and was key in the Sox winning it all. Since then he's been hurt. I still think he is a great third baseman. The pitching was the key to the Sox winning it all. That, and a s***load of luck and everyone playing well.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 11:03 PM) Milwaukee Florida owes us too

for clarity purposes, I have no idea what I meant by that statement at all, so it doesn't make sense anyways

Dope Wars is fun

Joe Flacco was recently compared to Andrew Walter and John Navarre. Bears fans still want him in the 2nd?

I still expect the Indians to win the division. Possibly the best pitching staff in the AL, and assuredly the best pitching in the AL Central, and an underrated offense - people seem to forget that the Indians scored 811 runs last year while Travis Hafner sucked compared to his usual standards.

QUOTE(Whitewashed in '05 @ Feb 26, 2008 -> 11:18 PM) They've got a lot of our top prospects and I will keep an eye on them. Many people here don't like Gio much, but he's been probably my favorite prospect since he was drafted (sox prospect). I have a feeling he's gonna be a good pitcher. No major injuries so far because of his frame, a good fastball with movement, nice hammer, and is developing a good change and throws with the left hand. I still think Sweeney's going to turn out to be a solid OFer. I think Gio is going to be very good in that ballpark.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Feb 26, 2008 -> 11:11 PM) (Just by the face) You actually need booze to hit that? I'd do both sober (Well.. maybe a shot for the one on the left... maybe ) I could see a butter face with a bangin body bro, or even a "chunky" women, but damn you got some picky taste Blake. It's more for vaccination than anything else

QUOTE(greg775 @ Feb 26, 2008 -> 10:55 PM) I am a fanboy of Crede and I could see him being moved. Somebody's going to get a great third baseman and what are we going to get in return at this point? I know ... he's going to leave anyway. That still doesn't mean if we had a great GM we couldn't get some good players for Crede if he proves he's healthy this spring. We should not, but will, give him away I predict. I fully expect us to get 2 Class A players for him and that would be a shame. Crede is a great third baseman. Sorry that's what I believe. Hope Kenny Proves me wrong. Crede himself was a Class A player at one time. Just sayin

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Feb 26, 2008 -> 09:06 PM) Intrasquad highlights By Mark Gonzales, 3:30 p.m. TUCSON, Ariz. - Paul Konerko cranked a grand slam off Charlie Haeger to give his team a 5-3 victory over Jim Thome's team in Tuesday's five-inning intrasquad game. Konerko's slam came one-half inning after NIck Swisher ripped a two-run home run off left-hander Carlos Vazquez with two out in the top of the inning. Non-roster invitee Brad Eldred led off the inning with a triple. Eldred also hit a double and scored on Cole Armstrong's sacrifice fly off Mike MacDougal in the third. Javier Vazquez pitched two perfect innings and struck out three in front of two major league scouts. Konerko and Jermaine Dye hit consecutive doubles in the fourth. Nick Masset pitched two scoreless innings. straight from the horses mouth...not that Tony's a horse or anything

Rotoworld is teh funnies!!!

I bet the Sox offer was still on the table. I also think Colon is pretty sure he'll be in a rotation all year, and the $7 mill the Red Sox said they'd give him if he makes 30 starts wooed him away from the White Sox. I doubt KW or anyone in the White Sox front office wanted to give him more than $5 mill or so.

QUOTE(Haarold @ Feb 26, 2008 -> 01:58 PM) Sorry, but Paulie does not stretch for the ball. I never said he didn't hit clutch home runs, I said that these days they are far and few between. Yes he is a good player, I just don't see in him what alot of other people do. People often get caught up on stats hr's rbi's ect.ect when determining a players worth. I look at all aspects of his game and I just don't see how the sun rises and sets with Paulie in so many peoples minds. This organization is kidding itself if they think this team will be able to compete in this division. They are banking on three unproven pitchers to fill out the rotation. Paulie's trade value is high right now and could go along way to fortify our minor league system. The thought of Fields going back to AAA is ridiculous, as is the thought of letting Crede get away. The thought of letting Crede go isn't ridiculous, because it would happen at the end of the year anyways. Taking the Crede glasses off would be good. Kenny is looking to do everything he can to get Crede moved, because he doesn't want to send Fields down to AAA, he's not going to trade Konerko; that leaves Crede as the odd man out, and, coincidentally, he only has one year left on his deal and his agent is Scott Boras. Crede's a goner

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Feb 26, 2008 -> 06:31 PM) But then again, other than Nuke, hi8is, maybe Tru or whitewashedin05', I doubt anyone here can out-drink me and I'll put a s***load of $$ on it. Damn I'm sounding like Pratt right now.. Me, Me, Me, Me, Me. I'd put money on it

QUOTE(Reddy @ Feb 26, 2008 -> 08:40 AM) i dont think Falco/Fox got shafted badly. I'm a Falco player and though his moveset has changed pretty drastically, i think it's pretty even. He doesnt have the same forward smash and thats sad cuz it was cheap as hell. but he has a dash-A attack that it hot as hell and does a ton of damage cuz you can do it repetitively. I still felt good playing him and he MAY stay my main char. Sonic was fun too, got some great combos. Disagree on G&W being top tier though... I'm gonna go in the way back machine, because I never got a GameCube and the family still doesn't have a Wii, though we will eventually. Anyways, for historical purposes, how much different was Fox from the N64 version to the GameCube version to the current version? Cuz I definitely dominated everyone with Fox on the 64.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Feb 26, 2008 -> 08:55 AM) BASEBALL BOOGIE!! http://youtube.com/watch?v=JW7q0JzWaoY From about 1985 to 1990, it was apparently really, really cool to make your own cheesy song if you were a sports team. And I would say I'd never get caught dancing like that, but I'm going to be videotaped doing so on a stage come this Friday and Saturday. And then hopefully never again.

I'm not going to lie, I read the first line and couldn't read anymore. I really don't want to.

It's not the lack of focus that was unacceptable last year. It was the number of s***ty players on the team that was unacceptable.

Heads, you aren't like the girl at the party who puts half of a shot in a 20 ounce bottle of pop, drinks it, and then says you are hammered, are you?

That is actually an argument that has legitimate credence. And it's one that will never end. I'd give the edge to Mays in large part because he played a more demanding position, and because he was the best player in a period that wasn't nearly as good offensively as the one currently. However, Bonds is still the only 500-500 player ever, he's one of a few 40-40 players, he has 8 gold gloves, and, regardless of how they were achieved, nobody in major league history has more home runs than him. And then some will talk about Ruth because he has the highest OPS and OPS+ of all time (in fact, no one is even close to him in OPS+...Teddy Ballgame is next and his 191 just looks miniature next to Ruth's 207). Add to it that he was a pretty damn good pitcher too, and that's another argument. He also didn't face nearly the diversity that's in today's game, both in types of pitches and ethnicities of players, so that's an argument against him. It's fun to talk about, but I don't see this argument being anything close to the '72 Dolphins argument.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Feb 23, 2008 -> 10:13 PM) yeah, cause the weather is so predictable 2 months in advance... it can be pleasent or horrible as f*** outside. These players should deal with it anyway, as they get paid MILLIONS to play a sport. If they can't handle the weather then boo-freaking-hoo. The players would play; it's the owners who want their investments protected from absolute s*** conditions like that.

QUOTE(The Beast @ Feb 25, 2008 -> 11:42 PM) Do people even remember what happened the night before if they are wasted? Depending on if you black out, and if you do, how badly you do, some don't. I have sorta blacked out like 3 of the past 4-5 times I have drank, but that's because I have drank in excess, have drank a mixture of alcohol, and have been pretty worn down when doing so. I also was drinking pretty fast too, which also leads to blackouts. If you understand the above...i.e. knowing how much you can handle to get buzzed, drunk and blackout...you can be a responsible drinker. Or, if you can just know how to control yourself when you know/someone tells you are out of control, that also can play a big part in it. Drinking is mostly harmless unless you yourself make it harmful.
